Soil Humidity / Moisture Sensor (New Type – Capacitive Sensor)
A soil moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. It is ideal for monitoring garden, or your plant’s water level. This is a must have tool for a connected garden.
This new type capacitive soil humidity sensor differs from other resistive sensors, adopting capacitive sensing principle to detect soil humidity. Since the circuit is not exposed at the detected end, the corrosion problem of sensor is avoided, increasing the sensor operating life and measurments accuracy.
The built-in chip supports 3.3~5.5V working environment, Arduino, ESP32, micro:bit and controller. As to mini PC, you need an ADC module (analog signals are converted into signals).

PH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is commonly used to measure the quality of the water or for water monitoring. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.
Water detection sensor is used to detect water leak, water level or rains. This is obtained by having a series of parallel wires exposed traces. The sensor traces have a weak pull-up resistor of 1 MΩ. The resistor will pull the sensor trace value high until a drop of water shorts the sensor trace to the grounded trace.
The analog signal output can be read directly to arduino
A soil moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. It is ideal for monitoring garden, or your plant’s water level. This is a must have tool for a connected garden.
This sensor uses the two probes to pass current through the soil, and then it reads that resistance to get the moisture level. More water makes the soil conduct electricity more easily (less resistance), while dry soil conducts electricity poorly (more resistance).
It will be helpful to remind you to water your indoor plants or to monitor the soil moisture in your garden. The IO Expansion Shield is the perfect shield to connect this senor to Arduino.
The new soil moisture sensor uses Immersion Gold which protects the nickel from oxidation.
Non-contact liquid level sensor can be used to provide external monitoring in liquid non-metallic material tubes, pipes and tanks such as plastic, glass, fiber-glass and ceramics. The thickness of the tube/pipe/tank/container should be less than 10mm. It is easy to use as a led is on when the liquid level reached and voltage is detected from sensor output.
The contactless liquid level sensor can be used in household appliances products, drinking and cleaning water and water treatment equipment, medical treatment and foodstuff mechanism equipment, chemical mechanism equipment and so on.
MQ-4 Sensor is highly sensitive to Methane – CH4.
Using a MQ sensor and detecting the gas is quite easy. You can either use the digital pin or the analog pin to accomplish this. Simply power the module with 5V and you should notice the power LED on the module to glow and when no gas is detected the output LED will remain turned off meaning the digital output pin will be 0V.
Sensitive material of MQ-5 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gas exist, The sensors conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising. The sensor convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration.

MQ-135 gas sensor can be implemented to detect the smoke, benzene, steam, and other harmful gases. It has the potential to detect different harmful gases. The MQ-135 gas sensor is a low co st to purchase.
The measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide in water is one of the most important parameters in the field of aquaculture and in industry. So, this Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensor probe allows the measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide directly in the water and soil. It can measure the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration with high accuracy with large measuring range up to 5000 ppm. The CO2 probe has an analog both RS485 and TTL output for connection to your acquisition system.
You simply need to immerse the CO2 probe directly into the environment you want to monitor, whether it’s a fish farm pond, a lake, the open sea, in a bioreactor, or a manufacturing process. The sensor then provides a continuous measurement of the partial pressure of dissolved CO2 in water.
